Help with watering schedule during growth

Hi
I'm going to start using the wilma small 4pot 11liter pots with clay pebbles, I'll be using the canna aqua nutrients and supplements. I'm about to buy the imperium plus feed control unit for the system.
I would like some help knowing what settings to use for the watering at different stages of growth? It does say it's better watering the plant for 5 mins 6 times a day rather than 15 mins 2 times a day.
Does anyone have experience with this system or watering schedule?
Thanks for the help

im not familiar with that grow system but i am familiar with clay pebbles. i would say do 15 min feedings 4 times a day with lights on and see how that does. its a good starting point and you can tweak from there.

Thanks would that be alright for seedlings? I thought that might have been too much

It depends on how your set up. 4 times should work out great in clay media very hard to overwater using that. Hell when I first started growing I had a constant drip system that didn't have problems and was always feeding. Because it's a seedling you want to make sure that it doesn't dry out too much at the surface due to a shallow root system.

Ok thanks! I'm guessing that I don't water during lights off? They will be on 18/6 schedule

no need to during lights off. when switched into flower i like to give one quick watering during lights off just to keep roots moist vs 12 hrs of nothing.
